Abstract Submission Guidelines
Why You Should Submit Your Science to the World's Premiere Stroke Meeting

The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association maintains the highest standards for abstract acceptance and program development. The goal is to bring a spectrum of the very best stroke science to ISC - from the most basic research to patient-based studies to large clinical trials. The science covers a vast array of topics in 21 categories, including emergency medicine, diagnosis, interventional treatments, nursing and rehabilitation. Submit your best science to the International Stroke Conference 2014.

High-scoring abstracts will be featured at a variety of prominent forums at ISC, including the plenary sessions, oral abstract sessions, and moderated poster sessions. Be sure to submit your abstract during the regular summer abstract submission period (May 22 - Aug 13.) The acceptance for late-breaking science (submitted in October) is quite low. Late-breaking science is only the exceptional work that could not be submitted at an earlier date, and it often relates to trials that only come to fruition at the late-breaking deadline. Do not wait until the late-breaking deadline but rather aim for the summer deadline. The vast majority of presentations that will be selected will be those submitted during the summer. We highly encourage you to submit your best science for this premiere educational event.

Why You Should Submit Your Science to ISC 2014: 

Network with International Leaders in the Stroke Field: Attend ISC and discuss your findings with stroke research and practice experts from around the globe. Almost 3,800 cerebrovascular experts from nearly 60 countries attend the International Stroke Conference.   International Impact: Media coverage from around the world resulted in more than 1.4 billion media impressions from nearly 1,500 stories for ISC 2013. Impressions from major media outlets included the Associated Press, CBS News, ABC News, Good Morning America, Fox News, The Telegraph, Washington Post, USA Today, LA Times, HealthDay, Cardiology Today, and many more. Social media activities during ISC 2013, including live tweeting on Twitter during the three news conferences, resulted in a total of 1,309 Tweets and 7.4 million impressions. So your research could have global impact.   Virtual Reach: The ISC virtual reach through the AHA/ASA Web site, e-mails, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter activity reached more than 90,000 people daily.    Published Abstracts: Accepted ISC and Nursing Symposium Abstracts will be published online in February 2014 on the AHA’s Stroke journal Web site. The top 20 scoring ISC abstracts will be invited to submit a manuscript for expedited peer review and publication based on their abstract to the Stroke journal.   Award Application: Student/Trainee and Early Career Authors - please be sure to submit your abstract for award consideration including the Junior Investigator Travel Award Grants.   Late-Breaking Science and Ongoing Clinical Trials abstracts will not be published. They will be available online on the International Stroke Conference Web site on February 12, 2014.

A non-refundable $30 processing fee will be required for each abstract submitted. The fee covers administration and online costs associated with the submission, grading, notification and slotting processes.

In order to encourage a broad range of science and speakers, international authors and junior authors are strongly encouraged to submit abstracts for presentation.
